New York, NY (My Sportsbook) - The National Football League fined the New York Jets, team president Mike Tannenbaum and former head coach Eric Mangini a total of $125,000 for violating the league's rules on injury reporting last season. Over the last month of the 2008 campaign, the Jets failed to list Brett Favre on the injury report even though the quarterback had a torn biceps tendon. The Jets were fined $75,000, while Mangini and Tannenbaum were each given a $25,000 assessment. After a tumultuous season last year, the Jets fired Mangini, now the head coach of the Cleveland Browns, and released Favre, who came out of retirement once again to play for the Minnesota Vikings this year. |
